Excellent!
Since joining Flickr, I find myself
constantly looking for everyday images such
as this: an odd framing, a pattern of
railings, some 'pleasing corrosion', and so
on.
Consequently, the quotidian is enriched and
life is enhanced.
Flickr epiphanies?
Yikes!

Interesting how the lack of focus for the
content of the frame makes it stand out. I
concluded that it's because there are very
few out-of-focus pebbles outside the frame.

Yes, as with all those above, this is a good
composition with excellent focusing and
bokeh. Would not look amiss in an art
gallery!

This is excellent, and I've had to fave it.
I particularly enjoyed the green/red play.

Many thanks for all your thoughtful feedback.
Although the frame caught my attention
straight away, I got every shot on my first
attempt out of focus. I had to drive back 20
miles or so a couple of days later to have
another go - and some b*gger had moved the
damned thing and its heavy concrete base.

Brilliant framing. The colors are great.
Leaving the background slightly out of focus
was a great call.

+ excellent focus, looks like a magnifying
glass that blurs everything (personal fav :)
- sky a bit too grey, but I guess you
couldn't change that ;)

-I can't tell what the red object is. I
don't really care, but if I have to find a
negative, that would be it. :)

the focus and angle are amazing...the colors
are very nice as well. i love the texture of
the sand/pebbles beneath the frame. so nice.

(boy, this is the second time today,
different group, where i have commented on
something i saw through a different channel,
then posted to a commenting/scoring group
that required me to comment again, right
under my last comment. and here there's a two
hour difference. sheesh)
+great colors (red & green) of the
focal elements
+great framing/composition
-is the red frame slightly out of focus?
and i guess you could have photoshopped the
green tuft of grass and the brown weed out of
the picture, just to remove all distractions.

later. Well done.

Thanks so much to all of you for all your
generous comments and fav's.
ara01, the red object is yer standard
British lifesaver packed in a handy plastic
container. They're quite common here on
beaches and rivers - and a boon to
photographers looking for a spot of color.
Rik, sorry about the double commenting
burden, I do try not to
"scatter-gun" stuff across the
groups.
Synes, Rene's ghost is never far ;-)
desdibuix, spooky concidence - interesting
how the eye makes the sky in the frame look
brighter - almost like a mirror
Helen, the fact that West Bay has a great
seafood restaurant has nothing to do with the
case ;-)

recursion: oh, no need to apologize for
anything. i reread my comment, and it did
sound like i was annoyed somehow. actually, i
was rather surprised. i'd never had that
happen to me before. the first time was a
surprise, but it was only 30 minutes apart.
yours was the second time in one day, and i
first visited your shot about 3 hours before
needing to comment on it the second time. no,
i didn't mean to suggest that you had
scattered your shot around flickr...i was
merely surprised that i had found it in two
places, needed to comment both times, and had
my comments right next to each other.
the short of it (finally!): no worries.
it's a great shot, worth seeing and
commenting two (now three) times. =]

@ohhector: I'm not sure I agree with you on
that. i think it looks far better like this,
with the frame in focus.
